Yes, every reputable system of Qigong and, of course, Taichi, I have studied recommends Wuchi position standing meditation. It has been implied here that if I will continue practice, if the problem is my posture/form, and/or muscular tension, over time, even those will correct themselves as the energy teaches my muscles what to do. Is this an accurate interpretation? If not, how is the best way to address neck/shoulder tension and correct form/back mechanics.
"If you can practice these 2 seated warm-up meditations extensively--i.e., 8-10 minutes for seated warm-up #1 and 5-6 minutes for seated warm-up #2, you will find Monk Gazing at Moon and the rest of the standing FP exercises easier and more comfortable to do."
It's not clear if you are recommending doing the two seated meditations as a warm up for the standing meditations and doing this all in one session or starting with the seated meditations for my daily practice until they become comfortable at the recommended time and then, once that goal is accomplished, add the standing meditations into my practice.
If I use the seated meditations for the warm up, do I leave out the warm up on the 1rst DVD and go straight to the breathing sequence of each standing meditation?
Thanks, again. I am hoping that whether it is injury based or form/posture/tension based, that FPQ will help me heal/correct the problem. It is this hope that has caused me to persist in trying to learn FPQ.
